December 01, 2022 03:45 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MB

If you’re like most people, you seldom answer phone calls from anyone you don’t recognize. And for good reason.

Debt Protesters: Can Debtors Turn the Tables on Collections?

September 09, 2021 15:47 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MB

Disputing a bill is not terribly uncommon, and in some cases makes sense. Billing errors can happen, and it’s fair to have them resolved before paying. But imagine claiming you don’t need to pay ANY bills—or even your rent—ever, because you have special status or philosophical separation from your “debtor self” that renders financial obligations null and void. Such are the type of stances taken by people called “Debt Protesters,” despite that their tactics never succeed. Often pre...

The fact that people’s incomes were locked down too, complicated matters more. This podcast talks about ways to keep cash, credit, and debt in circulation so your business ca...

January 23, 2020 13:00 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MB

When you think about debt collection, you think about a phone call. There was a time when that was more or less true. It's 2020 and the telecom industry has shifted.

Keeping Up With Compliance with Greg Hunka

December 27, 2019 13:00 - 20 minutes - 18.4 MB

Some industries are regulated more than others. The Financial sector is one of the most high regulated sectors in the Canadian economy. And within finance, debt collection is a unique - and often - ignored corner. But it’s a corner with a lot of legal obligations…so today, we’re talking about compliance.   When a company is meeting all its legal obligations, it’s in compliance. Regulations are a way to make sure everyone is playing on a level playing field, by the same rules. If y...

November 20, 2019 13:00 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MB

Debt is egalitarian. It doesn't discriminate. Credit card and line of credit debts can inflate until they're so large the debt crowds out the rest of your life.

Who is a debt collector? Looking at MetCredit's career videos, you'd think they only hire shy, reserved wall-flowers who are more comfortable being in the background.
